and placed in the old bank building

IL Il said misfortunes do not come
singiy. Scarce had 3 malicious con-
spiracy against the Editor and pub
Usher Of the Echo subsided than he
received word ~ Topeka about his

down, and on arriving home Cor the
purpose Of having the loss adjusted
by the insurance company, he found

George A. Williams has a very
pressing Invitation to take the part Of
Gaspard In the play of Chimes Of
Normandy that will be presented at
Salina about the last Of this month.
George has been on the stage before,
and has some Of as good press notices
as most Of our celebrated actors Of the
present day. But not liking the pro-
fession, he gave it up, and Is now the
accommodating drug clerk behind
the counters Of the Gem No. In this
city.

Salina is to have home theatrical
troupe In the near future.

ing, in honor Of the twentieth aniveT-
sary Of their marriage. A large num-
Der Of their friends assembl ed, over
twenty,eOuples being present. The

From the Chico advertiser:
The New England Supper, given by
the NJ. +. Ladies Mite society at the
residence Of Mrs. j. +. Thomas last
Thursday, was well participated In,
despite the severe storm Of that even
ing, aud proved 10 be very enjoyable

Ed. the son of Mr.. Chas. A. King
man, met with q serious accident To
day, while taking his fathers horses

can not say which as he lost conscious

Last Wednesday Miss Catherine
KOenig, who lives eight miles north
east Of Chico, visited our Office, ao-
companied by Mrs. J. BarmetlOr of
this place. In conversation with the
young lady we learned that her faith
er, Mr.. John f. KOenig, is the head
OF family consisting Of ten good
looking, healthy daughters and four
sons. The whole family, the mother
Of-couFse included, and a sOn-in-lsw
and 3 hired man live peaeeably and
harmoniOusly under one roof on q
l60 acre farm. This proves two
interesting facts; first, that the KOe-
nig's are 3 model family, and second,
that Saline is q very productive cOun-
ty. There are not many counties 10
the state where they can raise fourteen
children to q family, and not many
l6Oacre farms outside Of Saline Co.
that will comfortably support eight
cen persons.
